Seen this on some Audis - the rear demister is also used as an aerial and there is a filter that separates the radio signal from the demister power, when this fails the radio signal is lost when the rear demister is turned on as you describe.

According to this you need A4 stainless bolts to be equivalent to 8.8

Might be better asking in the Octavia 4 forum where owners mostly post?

It was in 2017 when I needed one wheel refurbed so my memory might be a bit off, but IIRC they charged me £80.

I used these guys at Woolston when I needed an alloy powder coated after a dealer did a nasty respray http://www.wheelsmartuk.co.uk/

I tried the Audi throttle coding on my 1.4 TSI Octavia III and had exactly the same fault codes, to me it seemed that the changed ECU coding made it look for different CAN messages from the other modules such as ABS so I reverted back to the standard coding.

BTW those are not radar they are ultrasonic sensors. The radar (when fitted) is for ACC and Front Assist and is located in the centre of the front bumper area,

... which is why I stopped watching F1 for many years - Ferrari having different rules to all other teams and Michael Schumacher not being penalised for major driving misdemeanours just became too much for me to stomach. Now it seems the rules are different for Red Bull and Verstappen - deja vu???

Have you checked whether the battery terminal connections have been tightened correctly after the battery was changed?

On the Octavia the 1.4 TSI never had ACT, it was introduced first on other models.

Every 5 years according to Skoda UK, "lifetime" according to VW in the SSP for the EA211 engine, values in between those according to other makes & importers - pay your money, make your choice.

But important semantics that have confused at least one member - ords.

Since you have a 1.5 where the water pump is on the opposite end of the engine (unlike the 2.0 where it is on the same end of the engine), and IIRC there has only been one report on here of a water pump problem on the 1.4/1.5 engine, I think that a water pump change is unnecessary - I certainly declined it on my 1.4 when I had the cambelt replaced after 5 years.

I think you have crossed over LHD and RHD. In the UK we drive on the Left in Right Hand Drive vehicles, in Europe they drive on the Right in Left Hand Drive vehicles.

Letting only 5 of the lapped cars through and not all of them surely isn't following the rule? Either stick with the original decision to let none of the lapped cars through or let ALL of the lapped cars through. IMHO Mercedes have a valid reason to make an appeal. Yes having the race not finishing under safety car is preferred but only if the rules have been followed.

Have you ever had the windscreen replaced, if so is it a genuine Skoda one? I found that on the minimum settings the rain sensing was so unwilling to turn the wipers on I had to click the sensitivity up.

The switch on the top of the wiper stalk changes the sensitivity setting of the rain sensing wiper, did you try adjusting that before disabling rain sensing?

I had a pre-facelift MG Metro Turbo like that and then a facelift one - the facelift one was a 'Friday special' which eat 3 exhausts and 3 batteries in 18 months so I part-ex'd it for a Renault 5 GT Turbo and vowed never to buy another ARG (or whatever they called themselves) car again.

@Maxyboy93Don't know what format videos you are posting but all I see is a grey box saying there is no video with a supported format and MIME type found, nothing payable

Looks like a new sump, and possibly filter, to me?

True, I was thinking of the OEM system - my bad

Halogen to LED, Bi-Xenon to LED??? You need to give more detail about what the headlights were and what you have changed them to.

The unit in the glovebox IS the infotainment on the Octavia 3 - the screen in the centre console is literally just a screen.

Halfords always used to keep the removal tools in stock - they are the standard VW/Audi ones.

OP has a 2015 Octavia so whether he has a MIB1 or a MIB2 (the changeover happened during 2015) will determine the newest maps available. VAG have a policy of not offering map updates for more than 5 years after the end of production, so the last maps available for a MIB1 Amundsen are 2020-2021. 2021-2022 maps are available for a MIB2 Amundsen though.
